The bait of war has taken effect. The final chosen battlefield is an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean.
When the evil beast arrived, massive "Huge Dragons" surrounded it from all directions.
But despite their imposing size, seemingly overshadowing the evil beast, everyone knew that as soon as the steel-forged Xingtian started moving, these Huge Dragons would be obliterated within seconds.
This wasn’t because the Huge Dragons were too weak... The Huge Dragons, vaguely reaching the standard of eighth-tier, were formed by countless Dragon-Snakes. Their massive physical bodies had nearly infinite recovery power, capable of tearing apart most opponents through sheer physical combat and attrition.
However, the Xingtian Evil Beast has been completely over-spec from the very beginning.
Its skin hardness surpasses any known materials. Even the enraged strike empowered by the War God can only slightly break its surface.
Its strength requires no repetition. The countless fragments of God Corpses scattered across the battlefield are the clearest proof...
"Those leftover fragments it didn’t eat... I probably couldn’t defeat them... no, definitely couldn’t."
The Divine Monster formed from the gathered fragments of God Corpse has already caused numerous accidents and hidden dangers. Those distorted fake tenth-tier life forms could likely easily crush Lu Ping’an.
This time, however, the weaker party was attempting to challenge the strongest.
"Hopefully, the bug still works..."
Huge Dragons from all directions approached, each occupying a side to block the evil beast’s path.
The evil beast stopped, yet its mouth still chewed on the fragmented meat of the God Corpse.
At this moment, it still did not attack.
Lu Ping’an breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the bug remained... Or rather, ever since it left the body of the God Above Gods, it had become fixed as a killing machine.
This was undoubtedly good news. Lu Ping’an feared most that it could contact the God Above Gods to continuously "upgrade its hardware and software."
But now, the bug was clearly still there. Just like in previous tests, although it was one of the World-Destroying Three Beasts, this killing machine would not actively attack its kin.
The Huge Dragons collided with the evil beast, yet, just like previous tests, the evil beast still refrained from attacking.
Lu Ping’an’s prior tests had confirmed that such level collisions would not be perceived as attacks... However, if it went further, even its kin would trigger retaliation once attacked, as had happened during his last death.
But now, these Huge Dragons formed from Dragon-Snake blood and meat simply "happened" to block all of the evil beast’s paths of progress.
Even above and beneath, "Dragon-Snake Avatars" emerged.
The evil beast hesitated, contemplating with its innate killing instincts.
It stopped.
This was not simply due to the logical rule of refraining from active attacks. If it actively collided, these fragile "Dragon-Snakes" would undoubtedly die—an act of voluntarily killing its own kind.
𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Evidently, this was fundamentally unacceptable within its programmed logic.
Thus, the bug that Lu Ping’an had previously tested was once again verified.
"The God Above Gods needed a brainless killing machine... but as a machine driven by rules and logic, there were inevitably many exploitable bugs."
Powerful creations require severing the head to impose control and restraint. Yet, without a brain, such "machines" become easier targets.
For the first time in its relentless spree of slaughter, the evil beast came to a complete halt. It cautiously experimented with moving forward, backward, and sideways, but ultimately refrained from killing the visible blockers in its path.
In its logic, it was purely blocked by members of its kin from all directions. Coincidentally, those kin surrounded it entirely.
If it possessed self-awareness and intelligence, it would have already acted out violently. But as a "machine" adhering to commands and logic, it was caught by this bug.
However, stagnation alone was meaningless—there had to be further action.
Yet, based on previous tests of its "automatic counterattack" ability, as soon as any of these barriers started attacking... No, as soon as any life form attacked, it would retaliate with slaughter.
And as soon as it moved, such obstacles would lose all effectiveness.
"%&...%..."
A sudden, chaotic noise reverberated across the world. Lu Ping’an felt an inexplicable sense of fear and unease—this was a crushing pressure of biological level.
The sudden gust of wind drew everyone’s gaze.
Unbeknownst to all, a massive Firebird had appeared in the sky above the battlefield, radiating sun-like light and heat.
Instantly, many onlookers froze in terror.
There was already one World-Destroying Beast here—why is there another? Could it be the Northern Golden Crow? Wasn’t it said to have been slain?
"Don’t panic... It’s on our side!"
Lu Ping’an’s words communicated through the channel immediately quelled the battlefield’s tension.
Another wave of "noise" echoed across the area, but this time, Lu Ping’an, sensing the pain, understood its meaning.
"Open the channel up above..."
Lu Ping’an laughed. It seemed his request had succeeded—his anticipated reinforcement had truly arrived.
Yes, Lu Ping’an’s strategy was straightforward and clear. He had said, "I have a way to stop this monster, but don’t even mention killing it—even breaking through its defenses is impossible... However, someone—no, some bird—can achieve that."
A being of the same tier—the Golden Crow that headed north—should be capable of hurting the Golden Crow.
And as this betrayer had already struck a deal with its new "master," it wouldn’t satisfy anyone unless it stained its hands with the blood of its former master.
At this moment, upon seeing the Golden Crow, Lu Ping’an knew he had it secured.
Indeed, neither mortals nor True Gods on Earth could inflict fatal injuries on this evil beast. But its kindred Golden Crow might be able to.
Above the skies, multiple suns emerged.
One, two... Nine. Infinite heat gathered and fused as the Golden Crow summoned boundless light and warmth, transforming it into its own "Nuclear Weapon."
Under normal conditions, such overwhelming threat would have prompted the defensive instincts of the evil beast to instantly retaliate.
Yet, neither the Golden Crow above nor the surrounding Dragon-Snakes were perceived as threats—they were its kin. To the evil beast’s logic, the Golden Crow was merely gathering Qi, while the Dragon-Snakes were "coincidentally" restricting its movement.
Forget any proactive forms of defense—even mechanisms of safe avoidance failed to activate under the premise of "unable to harm its own kind," as obstructed by the Dragon-Snakes.
The headless beast simply remained, silently watching the "suns" gather overhead.
Ten seconds, a minute, ten minutes... Lu Ping’an was stupefied. The atmosphere trembled, and the entire ocean visibly evaporated at high speed. Above, only one sun remained—a sun close enough to annihilate everything.
Then, the sun descended.
This time, the entire fleet in the Pacific Ocean felt the shockwaves through the beach and tides.
Meanwhile, Lu Ping’an again entered the "loading screen" phase.
Perhaps he would have the dubious honor of being the first unfortunate soul to achieve the "complete annihilation by the World-Destroying Three Beasts" accomplishment.
But this time, when he emerged revived from the loading screen, his face was filled with joy.
